Tears began welling in her eyes. As she told
me that her mother used to say that to her,
the tears poured over. Her mother had been
gone for 10 years and she was still struggling
with the grief. As she walked to my car with
me, she thanked me for giving her the gift of
her mom’s presence and reminding her that
her mother would always be with her. She
also thanked me for showing her that she had
a new opportunity to heal more, every day.
In that moment, I promised myself that I
would follow my intuition, no matter how
crazy or unusual it seemed. My intuition
holds the key to my healing and the healing
of those around me, and it is my job to share
the message. Understandably, we all have
different levels of intuitive guidance. Intuition
is a muscle that needs to be used in order to
become strong.
Here are 3 simple ways to notice your
Intuition (without resorting to full, 2-sided
conversations in dressing rooms). Now,
please understand that simple does not
always mean easy, so if any of these feel
challenging to you, I urge you not to judge
yourself! These take practice. I encourage
you to work on noticing and listening to your
intuition one, small, attainable step at a time.
1. Inner Nudges
Have you ever felt called to do something,
without thinking about it… or should I say
overthinking it? That little voice inside you
The signs and
messages from the
Universe are the
guideposts to your
highest and best life.
I continued, “I’m being led to tell you that the
chicory always shines brightest in the morning
sun.” She looked up at me with the widest
eyes of shock. She started to ask who I was,
how, what; but the words wouldn’t come.
that says, “Buy that book,” is nudging you
for a reason. When you get home and open
the book, you may find that it contains a
critical piece of information, or a quote from
your mentor or an ancestor of yours. Those
same nudges serve to help us to steer clear
of things that are not serving us as well. I
was having nudges not to buy bananas.
Turns out I am allergic to them and didn’t
know, consciously, at the time. My intuition
knew that bananas were not serving me and
clearly conveyed that message to me. Of
course, it took my ego a while to fully lean
in and stop buying bananas. Inner nudges
can also be referred to as gut feelings. The
feeling starts in your body and leads you
from there, without the involvement of the
ego. It takes your ego approximately 5-10
seconds to talk you out of listening to these
nudges, so my best advice to you is to take
immediate action!
2. Universal Signs
Some of us are visual learners, so the
Universe has that covered, too. I have
always kept a symbol journal because I have
noticed the connection between certain
